Time To Say Goodbye
July 7, 2023
Today is the day…
Production of the Ford Fiesta will end later on today when the last ever car leaves the production line in Cologne.
The Ford Fiesta has become something of an icon over the years and it is a highly recognisable car. With so many people having owned a Fiesta, been driven around in a Fiesta, or fallen in love with a Fiesta, this news will likely bring a sense of sadness. Fond memories of this little car will be commonplace and it’s hard to not feel that this is the end of an era.
Since production first began back in 1976, the Fiesta has been a hugely popular car and was the best-selling car in the UK for 12 consecutive years from 2009 onwards. Unfortunately, though, Ford is unable to make a profit on it and needs to make room in the factory as they focus on producing an electric vehicle range.
Regardless of the reason, today marks the end of a chapter in automotive history.
Goodbye Ford Fiesta!
The End Of The Ford Fiesta
October 27, 2022
Rumours have been circulating over the past couple of days that the Ford Fiesta will be removed from production soon. Ford has now confirmed that these rumours are, in fact, true and the Fiesta will be no more as of June 2023.
Since its introduction in 1976, the Fiesta has become a common sight on UK roads and consistently featured in the list of most popular cars in the country.

Fond memories of this little car will be commonplace and it’s hard to not feel that this is the end of an era.
Ford has said that the reason for the discontinuation of the Fiesta is linked to their “planned transition to an electric future.”
The statement from Ford states:
“As we get ready to transition to an electric future, we will discontinue production of S-MAX and Galaxy in Valencia, Spain in April 2023 and discontinue Fiesta production in Cologne, Germany by end of June 2023….We will introduce three new exciting electric passenger vehicles and four new electric commercial vehicles in Europe by 2024. We plan to sell more than 600,000 electric vehicles in the region by 2026, and the electric passenger vehicle production at the Cologne Electrification Centre will reach 1.2 million vehicles over a six-year timeframe.”
This statement also confirms the end of the Ford S-Max and the Ford Galaxy to make way for a new range of electric Ford vehicles over the next few years.
Whatever the reason, the Ford Fiesta is coming to an end so it’s time to say goodbye to the little Ford that made a big impact on the motoring world.
